A reaction between gaseous substances A and B proceeds at a measurable rate. The following set of data
has been accumulated:

Experiment Initial [A] Initial [B] Initial Rate


No. [mole/liter] [mole/liter] [M/min.]
1 1.00 0.25 0.26
2 1.00 0.50 0.52
3 1.00 1.00 1.04
4 2.00 1.00 4.16

(A) What is the rate law expression for the reaction of A + B C ?

(B) What is the numerical value of the reaction rate constant? What are the units?

(C) What is the initial rate of reaction in a system where each of the reactants is at a concentration of 4.0 x
10-4 M?

For the reaction: 3H2(g) + N2(g)  2NH3(g)


Experiment Initial [H2] Initial [N2] Initial Rate
